Platycerium Bifurcatum, Staghorn Fern
Description
Platycerium bifurcatum
Staghorn ferns need bright, indirect or diffused light to thrive. These plants are epiphytes, their root systems are fairly minimal, and help the plant attach to its base. It's a great plant for wall mounting.

Details
Your watering regimen consists of two processes: misting and soaking. Misting the frond: Use a spray-bottle that emits a fine, ambient mist, such as a brass mister. Watering the roots: Soak your staghorn fern facedown in a sink or basin of water for about 5 minutes, or until the roots are fully saturated.
A good rule of thumb is to water once per week in dry, hot times of year, and once every one to two weeks during cooler months. Start with this schedule, and adjust as necessary depending on your space.
